5/12/2024 these plants just keep on getting fluffier and fluffier. Did a slight defoliation. The plant I did training on, seems to have better stackage than her sister. If lst doesn’t increase yield, then it at the very least will increase bud size/stacking. 5/19 end of the week, they're starting to pack on weight now. Pistils are turning a super bright orange color that has a pink tint to it that is super beautiful. The camera does not do it justice at all. I would definitely recommend this strain to anyone. It's stupid easy to grow and the buds are just getting ridiculous. You could probably drop like 9 of these in 3 gal pots in 3x3 tent and just water and basic notes and do a sea of green style. Watch the humidity though.

ok so everything has gone fantastic , no nutrient burns at all , and have been slowly creeping up the base nutrients , i have stopped the cal mag and now adding house and gardens bud XL at full strength these girls are now in full swing of flower and i bought a new ph stick this week , i have found when PHing the feed bucket that its best too have air stones in the bucket , add all nuts and then ph but do not use the feed that day as if you check the next day the ph is off again so i left it 24 hours after i add more ph down , and it seems too make the measurements alot easier and stable , i have bent down the main stems " without damaging them onto my netting too A keep the canopy all the same high so my lighting is covering all plants at the same distance and also it allowed the side stems too reach up too , i also was sponsored another new led light by kingbo this week so have added another 600watt led too the grow , so now have two 600's and one 900watt , and temps are still fine sitting at 24c lights on and 19-20 off , so am pleased with that , this lady is nice and compact and tight lots of leaves that I had too remove too open up her bud sites , stretch was also minimal ,

Week 4 and buds are beginning to fatten up nicely, I’ve changed the position of the gelato and one of the Zkittles to improve light penetration into the canopy as the leaves have began to defoliate themselves from the plants. This being said all plants are looking green and healthy and show minimum environment stress. Hopefully this change in the canopy will allow each of the strains to grow to their full potential with the limited space that I have.

Week 2 of flower for these girls. I decided to use a lesser dose of nutes because I noticed after a few days after my feed last week that there may have been some leaf burn. -I changed up the nutrients a little and also finished putting up my inline fan - pulling fresh air from outside in for CO2. I simply used ducts for it. Now that cooler air is coming in from outside I can slowly turn up my lights to 900 watts, I’ll see how they do in about a day or 2 more and then the lights will switch to 1000watts. -Did some more defoliation. The leaves grow so fast!! Took 2 days to do all my plants lol I’m trying to do it every week or other week -The plants are drinking a lot more than they used to, I’m now feeding water every second day and nutes every second day! They’re growing so fast before my eyes It’s such a cool feeling seeing all my hard work coming along, with the first buds popping up and looking like real weed now. Feeling motivated! 😇

Week 5 (Feb 1 - Feb7) Added about 2-3 teaspoons of Wildroot Organic Concentrate Mycorrhizal Fungi to the roots and soil during transplant over the weekend, and within 48 hours all three plants not only sprung back to life, they grew at least 3x in size. The droopy leaves all stood straight out like they were injected with Viagra! Grace was grown in a cup with the same water-only organic soil that all three are in. The other two started out with an "organic" soil from a big box garden center. Grace's leaves were a rich, darker green than the other two. But the big box soil did a lot better on starting the seedlings. I lost 2 other seeds in an attempt to start them in the water-only organic soil. Biggest problem was with the density of the soil, which lifted with watering and took longer to percolate.

Transplanted in the ground for a few days with a contribution of mycorrhizae . The heat wave has passed and she is doing very well. I removed the apex and lower branches. It should soon start to bloom.😎

Hey everyone, I’m thrilled to update you on my grow! Today marks day 57 in the flowering stage, and I began my flush on day 55 cutting out nutrients and feeding only plain water (not ph'd) If everything goes as planned, I should be harvesting around day 63-65, giving my plants a solid 8-10 days of flushing. Oh boy, are they looking good! The buds have indeed gotten larger and denser. Some of the colas are even starting to fall over from the weight, but thankfully the trellis is supporting them well, so I’m not too worried about any snaps. The smell is absolutely amazing, and the trichome production is off the charts. She’s super sticky too—now I really understand where the name Gorilla Glue comes from! 😂 Overall, I’m pretty happy with how this grow has gone. The plants have shown vigorous growth with no deficiencies, toxicities, or pest infestations. There’s a bit of larf below that I thought I had defoliated, but it seems like it grew back. Lesson learned for next time! Happy growing, everyone! 🌱✨

10/13: I fed her about 24 ounces of compost tea today. I had brewed 5 gallons of tea using 90% rainwater collected the day before, and 10% aquarium water. My tea contained about 2 cups of very rich compost a handful of biochar, a tablespoon of 7 diff species of endo-mycorrhizal fungi + 25 species of beneficial bacteria, 8 tablespoons of big bloom (mainly for the earthworm castings), 2 tablespoons of liquid molasses, and a tablespoon of kelp me kelp you. It had been brewing for 48 hours and was very frothy. I'm seeing signs of calcium deficiency on a few plants today, but the tea should correct that. I'll add cal/mag to the watering regimen anyway. 10/14: With so much light and airflow, she's drying out very quickly. I fed her about a half-gallon of water with grow big, big bloom, kelp me kelp you, boomerang, cal-mag+iron, armor si, and soluble humic acid. I also foliar fed her a few times with humic acid and big bloom. 10/15: I foliar fed with big bloom and a little kelp a few times today and peeled back the insulation in the attic above the closet now that it's getting colder outside. It brought my daytime temp down to 81f! 10/16: I fed her about a quarter-gallon containing all the good stuff, at full strength for the first time. I also misted her really well with Ph adjusted spring water a few times throughout the day, just to rinse off any built-up nutes. She never showed any signs of a calcium deficiency, but I dosed her heavy with cal-mag with this feeding anyway. I did some leaf-tucking today, but have decided not to FIM her. I really don't want to increase her individual footprint since she has so many neighbors. 10/17: I rearranged the garden a little bit and sprayed her down with ph adjusted tap water a few times today. She's looking great! 10/18: Today, I did a myco root drench, with a little added boomerang for all the aminos, vitamins, and earthworm castings, and some cal-mag. I soaked her thoroughly with about 3/4 gallon and let her sit in her tray to soak it all up. I'll let her go completely dry before I feed her again so that she really drinks it all in next time. I lowered the lights to 20 inches above her right at dark, so she'll wake up to an especially bright sunshiny day! 10/19: I was gonna rearrange this morning and had no space to work with, so I moved the 4 smallest plants in the garden into the "upper deck." Now she has a little more elbow room. It's the last day of week 3 and I'm really impressed with her progress. If I had more space to work with, I'd definitely be doing a little training to try and maximize my yield from her.

The aroma is incredibly sweet and fruity, promising a delightful smoke. 😍 🌟 Harvesting Process • Timing: Harvested at the perfect moment to ensure maximum flavor and potency. The trichomes were checked and showed an ideal mix of cloudy and amber for peak effects. ⏳✨ • Technique: I followed a meticulous process, ensuring each branch was trimmed with care. The process was smooth, and the final product is a testament to the love and effort put into this grow. ✂️💪 Fun Fact: Did you know that Red Banana Pudding is renowned for its unique banana-like flavor with a hint of creaminess? It’s a true treat for the taste buds! 🍌🍰 🌿 Post-Harvest • Curing: After trimming, the buds were carefully hung to dry in a controlled environment, maintaining optimal humidity and temperature. The curing process will enhance the flavor and potency, making for a truly exceptional smoke. 🌬️💨 • Batches: The buds are being sorted into batches to ensure even curing and to preserve the quality of each nugget. The anticipation is building as we wait for this next phase! 🎉 Pro Tip: Proper curing can significantly impact the final taste and smoothness of your buds. Make sure to store them in airtight jars and burp them regularly! 🍁 🌱 Looking Ahead The Red Banana Pudding has set the bar high, and I’m excited to see how it turns out after curing.

End of another week and dang are these girls going! The alfalfa Ferment is definitely doing work down in that rhizosphere. It's pretty amazing how well this Ferment does for veging cannabis. I seriously cut my veg time down by almost half when I use it! That's the main objective right there, to be able to continuously flip into flower right after harvesting, and we're basically their now that we have everything dialed in. These girls will be getting synthetics next week. We're going to start them on a light feed of Athena blended then go from there. Thanks for stopping by and we'll see ya next week.

June 28: Tropicana Cookies FF is progressing nicely and well timed for the end of June. Supercropped (HST) the two main stems to bring the outer growth tips to the same elevation as the four inner ones. Taped with floral tape to stabilize after supercropping. watered with about 0.5 tsp/gallon of Extreme Blend which is half strength. June 29: plant looks very happy today and it’s warm and sunny. July 2: did final (third?) round of topping to get from 8 to 16 colas. Unlike some others I’ve grown, this plant is nicely symmetrical which should be easy to manage. Fairly tall which is fine.

8/31: I fed today..8 gallons split between the 15 plants. Now that the 3 autos are out of the closet, they've all got a little more elbow room. 9/1: Lotsa frost and aromas now.. 9/4: Fed today, rotated edge plants, plucked off some yellow and dead leaves, and sniffed them up really well..😋 I started germinating the next batch of beans today, so these bitches need to get busy... 9/6: One of the FFT4's is starting to ripen up and show some senescence, and one of them is showing some potassium deficiency... I'm switching over to Cha Ching and will be reducing the dosage of ONE at the next feed. I lowered the lights to be at about 12" on the taller ones and 14" on the shorter ones shooting for maximum PAR for a few days...they'll either blow up really big or burn up really bad 😬
